I only have SOS service

[CliffWu]

I transferred my number from a different carrier to Public mobile today, and I've authorized the transfer request throught a SMS text. I've chosen the eSIM option, why now my phone just shows SOS only? can you please help? let me know if you need my phone number. Thanks a lot

Can someone please help me out? I really need the text messaging function? Is the eSim not properly configured? Please help

Thanks

Hi hTideGnow,

Hi, I followed your instruction, and set up eSIM, and now I got Public Mobile signal showing. I can make calls and receive calls, but unable to send/receive text messages. I checked My Number of Phone Setting, it is blank, and I've tried to punch in my number, but it does not save at all, would you please help?

HI @CliffWu 

if the iphone has another physical sim card, remove it first

then go to Settings -> Cellular screen, is there a Public Mobile esim there? 

if it is the only sim there, make sure it is enabled by turning on "Turn on this line" option

if there is still the old carrier esim there, best to disable that old sim by turning off "Turn on this line", then go back to the Public Mobile esim and then turn on "Turn on this line" and set the line to Primary 

But if there is no Public Mobile esim there, then you will check the Welcome email from PM, scan the esim QR code to install and then follow the above instruction to turn it on

iPhone. How to verify? please

[hTideGnow]

Hi @CliffWu 

the app could have set it up, but you need to verify

first, tell us what phone you have? iPhone or Android? 

[CliffWu]

Thanks Mayor.

I thought the esim setup is automatic, IS it not? how to set up? please provide instructions?

I got an email saying all set. What  does that mean?

Thanks

Cliff
